We picked well over 100 tomatoes last week, glory to God, mostly large ones. Most plants started from seed at beginning of April.
2nd wettest summer on record.
Season puttering out, and the yearly blight required much pruning - more than I did - yet the plants that were pruned have been coming back while overall most plants keep on producing new growth. If this was down South much more produce could be realized, but here in MA cool temps slow growth, and the first frost usually comes before the end of Oct.
The Beautyberry shrubs we planted in June all have their berries turning purple now! They are lovely and get prettier each day. The weather this past week has been absolutely gorgeous. Sunny mild days with highs near 80, lows in mid 50s. I feel the crispness in the air in the morning and evening. Perhaps it’s time for a fire pit night, and hopefully hear the Barred Owl call out.
